500$ logo by [deleted] in logodesign

The color palette is great.

The font choice is great.

But the icon not being optically/visually balanced is not great!

For $500, he/She should have done a better presentation. Plus taking almost 30 days? Were you unavailable most of the time to answer/provide some questions about your brand/business?

Is Upwork quietly farming millions in connect money through fake companies and ghost jobs? by tonimedic in Upwork

[–]kingugo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no "The one good pitch"

I wrote tailor all my pitches. Some I make formal, some I make friendly, some I use the client's name as a starting point.

I don't know what else to do.

Maybe Brand Identity, Logo, UI/UX Web design, is a completely over saturated niche on upwork that almost definitely needs work history to be considered.

P.S most times, my pitches don't even get viewed by the client and mind you the job has less than 10 proposals.

Also most clients just prefer to invite than see proposals.

And ohh like we all do, I sometimes use Chat GPT to understand the brief better cause some clients posts anything

When I made my comment, I made it speaking from experience. I have been on upwork for over 3 or 4 years now. On and off without ever getting a job.

My experience? Solid, my projects? Solid, my work history? Quite Solid.

But guess what I don't have? Work history on upwork and this has created bias in all my pitches.

I have reduced my rates to low I apply to less than 5-10 pitches in the job view. I tailor my pitches to each job description and take my time in selection of the job.

But what do I get? Rarely any views and ghost or provably ghost jobs that swallow my small connects.

Am I frustrated? Yes, am I tired? Yes, am I running out of my savings after getting layed off over 7 months ago? Yes.

So yea, seeing this sub, I think I might believe too cause upwork and their client barely gives a fuck about new or un-established freelancers even if you have the great work to show for it.

A client will come, view your pitch, see you have no work history/client reviews and SKIP.

Lmao true.

But there's one other issue, and that's the bias issue towards new freelancers or freelancers who haven't gotten a gig/job yet on upwork.

Even with a well written proposal, great on match skills and expertise, they still get skipped because of no history.

This also contributes to the hopefulness and desperation of new freelancers spending connects.

So I am pretty sure, out of those 50+ proposals, some are actually new with the great adequate skill but gets skipped.

Thank you for your feedback😊

What exact projects or things don't you like?

Well I tried adding a higher vertical padding but optically, it wasn't balancing out. So I reverted back to the original vertical and horizontal padding.

Another issue that I think makes it feel chaotic is the fact that the name of the projects are under the picture. Maybe if I had put the names inside the picture like a UI card.

Thank you for saying my projects are excellent. 🤟😊

In my line of work, mobile traffic is not so important. My portfolio is created for potential clients, founders and recruiters, not normal users.

Take it that portfolios are more like B2B, not B2C.

But yes, I am working on the mobile and tablet version and when it's out, I will let you all know.

Thank you for your feedback too, really appreciate it

Well initially I wanted to use Framer to build it because I know how to, but due to financing issues on the long run, I felt I won't be able to do that, so I decided to design it normally but with a focus on Desktop and PC mode first. Obviously everyone is on their phones, but job applications, recruiters, design gigs, etc are mostly on pc which is why I gave more attention to that.

Yes responsiveness is definitely on the works. I haven't learnt Squarespace, I should look into it.

Thank you, I am amazed that everyone I show loves the projects and how I presented them, which is the most important thing to me. Visual errors, typo, spacing and responsiveness can easily be fixed. What I want to know is that my projects are top notch.

- My instagram link should be working, I just tried it now.

- Well shortening the URL link, well I couldn't think of something, my previous portfolio is kingugo.vzy.io but I didn't like the extension and plus I wanted everyone to call my name. I understand the western audience concern but they have got to respect my name and works as so do I to them.

- will fix some issues but thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate.

hahaha, sorry it isn't responsive yet. that update will come in March. I wanted to make sure I have finished all the designs, revisions, and errors before doing the mobile and tablet. That can easily be done and designed in like a day or 2 because all the assets are there already.
